I find it very hard to measure the gap directly between the closing shim and the closing rocker. Its hard get a feeler gauge in and I find its not very accurate.

This is the way I measure/calculate the closing shim gap.
- ensure the valve is fully closed
- measure the opening shim gap
- make note ...

You should be able to remove the clutch and fly wheel bolts using a rattle gun without the need of locking the engine.

If you cannot find a fly wheel puller a sharp hit on the face of the fly wheel (out edge) pops the fly wheel off the taper. Obviously this is not by the book however I was advised ...

hello,

Great to hear you have jumped into the bevel world. Once you get it sorted you will have many great days ride (and many nights tinkering ;-)).

Yes the sprag is a weak point (and expensive) and yes it sounds like you have killed yours. Biggest killer of a sprag is a back fire. The back fire ...

on what side are you talking about? I tried hitting it on every possible location.
should I hit it hard? im afraid to damage it

Hello Hashashan

I asked a "bevel" mechanic how to remove the fly wheel and he advised to give the fly wheel a sharp hit on the face towards the edge to pop it off the ...

Thanks for the advice. I had a suspicion the rear head could not be removed without swinging the engine forward.

I think I will have a go with the heads on, if I find it too hard I will remove the heads and do the job on the bench. I have the slip on seals so I should be OK replacing at the same ...

Hi guys,

Got a couple of jobs to do on the bikes over the Xmas break. Would like to ask for some questions which will help me out.

- Do you recommend removing the heads (easier??) to check/adjust valve clearances and replace valve seals or is it just as easy without removing the heads?
- Can you ...

Hello Jon...I have had a couple of sprag bearings go on me. One went on me after I had the engine apart for a week fixing another issue and it failed when I wanted to fire it up to test my repairs. Lets just say I was not impressed of its timing.

By the results you mentioned there's a chance your ...

I called Vee two last week and they have some bits and pieces left which they are selling. They also have a bunch of stuff on ebay.

You might be lucky and get something you need at a good price.

Hello Richard,

The job can be done at home however there are a couple things:
- when removing (and doing them up again) the clutch basket and fly wheel retaining bolt you will need a rattle gun otherwise you will need a tool to lock the engine (can be made with an old clutch plate) if your trying ...

Hello All,

For some reason one of the legs on my centre stand broke off during a ride (not when putting the bike on the stand, actually while riding??).

I was going to fabricate a new leg and weld it on however I thought I should check if anyone has a reasonably priced stand kicking around they ...

Ive never draged the standard pegs on my darmah.not like the four cylinders I used to ride. all the tyre gets used so must be going ok. so whats the point, with rear sets? and whats the story with that steering damper, its already like a ship?

Since I have fitted clipons on the bike I need more ...

Hello....I have just gone through the same issue with my Darmah however on the front cylinder. My engine has only 3500Km since engine rebuild and carby rebuild.

Front cylinder running very rich and blowing a bit of smoke. Plug will last a little while before it needed replacing or cleaning ...

Hello Craig....I checked my manual again and I found the reference...thanks for pointing it out.

Now the decision....to check or not to check???

Thanks again
